The Ignatz Awards recognize outstanding achievements in comics and cartooning by small press creators or creator-owned projects published by larger publishers. They have been awarded each year at the Small Press Expo since 1997,[1] only skipping a year in 2001 due to the show's cancellation after the September 11 attacks.[2] As of 2014[update] SPX has been held in either Bethesda, North Bethesda, or Silver Spring, Maryland.
The Ignatz Awards are named in honour of George Herriman and his strip Krazy Kat, which featured a brick-throwing mouse named Ignatz.[3]
Awards criteria
[edit]As one of the few festival awards rewarded in comics, the Ignatz Awards are voted on by attendees of the annual Small Press Expo (SPX, or The Expo, its corporate name), a weekend convention and tradeshow showcasing creator-owned comics. Nominations for the Ignatz Awards are made by a five-member jury panel consisting of comic book professionals.[4]
The jury panel remains anonymous (from both the public as well as each other) until the announcement of the awards. After a 1999 controversy involving juror Frank Cho,[a] jurors are now prohibited from nominating their own work. However, there is no prohibition of one jury member's work being nominated for an award by his or her fellow jurors.
History
[edit]The first comics industry awards given the title "Ignatz" originated at the OrlandoCon,[6] held in Orlando, Florida, from 1974 to 1994.[3] The current Ignatz Awards are not connected with OrlandoCon. The SPX Ignatz Awards were conceived in 1996 by SPX organizer Chris Oarr and cartoonist Ed Brubaker. Their original mandate, to set the Ignatz apart from "mainstream" awards like the Eisner Awards, was that the work nominated be creator-owned, and focus more on work done by a single writer/artist.[citation needed]
The Award was administered by Jeff Alexander from 1998 to 2006,[7] when they were taken over by Greg McElhatton.[7] During his tenure as Ignatz Award Coordinator, Alexander drew a strip for the annual award program in George Herriman's style.[7][8]

Notes
[edit]- ^ As a 1999 juror, Cho nominated his own book Liberty Meadows (which ended up winning two 1999 Ignatzes, for Outstanding Artist and Outstanding Comic). Ed Brubaker, one of the original jurors and developers of the award, criticized that year's jury for their lack of support and acknowledgment of independent works, and for allowing self-nomination. Brubaker also questioned whether the guidelines he and Expo board member Chris Oarr had developed for the Awards were provided to that year's judges. Cho defended his decision, stating that in his opinion few of the submissions he received as a judge were deserving of nomination, and that the Ignatz coordinator he consulted instructed him to use his own judgment, as there were no rules against self-nomination.[5]
- ^ After winning, Stotts arranged to have her Ignatz Award smashed with a sledgehammer, and the shards individually mounted onto separate wooden bases with engraved nameplates, so that she could give a piece of the award to each of the contributors to her anthology.[38]

The Small Press Expo was scheduled for Sept. 14-15, 2001 in Bethesda, Maryland, but was cancelled due to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The Ignatz is a festival prize determined by a ballot of attendees and exhibitors of the Expo, and, as such, the results of the voting are unique to the environment found at the Expo. The Expo steering committee decided that to hold the Ignatzes without a way to ensure similar results would not be fair to the recipients nor in keeping with the spirit of the award. Therefore, the awards were cancelled for the year.
